    Description

    The GlobalPhone corpus developed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was designed to provide read speech data for the development and evaluation of large continuous speech recognition systems in the most widespread languages of the world, and to provide a uniform, multilingual speech and text database for language independent and language adaptive speech recognition as well as for language identification tasks. The entire GlobalPhone corpus enables the acquisition of acoustic-phonetic knowledge of the following 22 spoken languages: Arabic (ELRA-S0192), Bulgarian (ELRA-S0319), Chinese-Mandarin (ELRA-S0193), Chinese-Shanghai (ELRA-S0194), Croatian (ELRA-S0195), Czech (ELRA-S0196), French (ELRA-S0197), German (ELRA-S0198), Hausa (ELRA-S0347), Japanese (ELRA-S0199), Korean (ELRA-S0200), Polish (ELRA-S0320), Portuguese (Brazilian) (ELRA-S0201), Russian (ELRA-S0202), Spanish (Latin America) (ELRA-S0203), Swahili (ELRA-S0375), Swedish (ELRA-S0204), Tamil (ELRA-S0205), Thai (ELRA-S0321), Turkish (ELRA-S0206), Ukrainian (ELRA-S0377), and Vietnamese (ELRA-S0322).In each language about 100 sentences were read from each of the 100 speakers. The read texts were selected from national newspapers available via Internet to provide a large vocabulary. The read articles cover national and international political news as well as economic news. The speech is available in 16bit, 16kHz mono quality, recorded with a close-speaking microphone (Sennheiser 440-6). The transcriptions are internally validated and supplemented by special markers for spontaneous effects like stuttering, false starts, and non-verbal effects like laughing and hesitations. Speaker information like age, gender, occupation, etc. as well as information about the recording setup complement the database. The entire GlobalPhone corpus contains over 450 hours of speech spoken by more than 2100 native adult speakers.Data is shortened by means of the shorten program written by Tony Robinson. Alternatively, the data could be delivered unshorten.Hausa is a member of the Chadic language family, and belongs together with the Semitic and Cushitic languages to the Afroasiatic language family. With over 25 million speakers, it is widely spoken in West Africa. The collection of the Hausa speech and text corpus followed the GlobalPhone collection standards. First, a large text corpus was built by crawling websites that cover main Hausa newspaper sources. Hausa’s modern official orthography is a Latin-based alphabet called Boko, which was imposed in the 1930s by the British colonial administration. It consists of 22 characters of the English alphabet plus five special characters. The collection is based on five main newspapers written in Boko. After cleaning and normalization, these texts were used to build language models and to select prompts for the speech data recordings. Native speakers of Hausa were asked to read prompted sentences of newspaper articles. The entire collection...

    Curated by FutureBeeAI, this 30 hours dataset offers unscripted, spontaneous two-speaker conversations across a wide array of real-life topics. It enables researchers, AI developers, and voice-first product teams to build robust, production-grade Spanish speech models that understand and respond to authentic Mexican accents and dialects.

    Speech Data

    The dataset comprises 30 hours of high-quality audio, featuring natural, free-flowing dialogue between native speakers of Mexican Spanish. These sessions range from informal daily talks to deeper, topic-specific discussions, ensuring variability and context richness for diverse use cases.

    Participant Diversity:
    Speakers: 60 verified native Mexican Spanish speakers from FutureBeeAI’s contributor community.
    Regions: Representing various provinces of Mexico to ensure dialectal diversity and demographic balance.
    Demographics: A balanced gender ratio (60% male, 40% female) with participant ages ranging from 18 to 70 years.
    Recording Details:
    Conversation Style: Unscripted, spontaneous peer-to-peer dialogues.
    Duration: Each conversation ranges from 15 to 60 minutes.
    Audio Format: Stereo WAV files, 16-bit depth, recorded at 16kHz sample rate.
    Environment: Quiet, echo-free settings with no background noise.

    Topic Diversity

    The dataset spans a wide variety of everyday and domain-relevant themes. This topic diversity ensures the resulting models are adaptable to broad speech contexts.

    Sample Topics Include:
    Family & Relationships
    Food & Recipes
    Education & Career
    Healthcare Discussions
    Social Issues
    Technology & Gadgets
    Travel & Local Culture
    Shopping & Marketplace Experiences, and many more.

    Transcription

    Each audio file is paired with a human-verified, verbatim transcription available in JSON format.

    Transcription Highlights:
    Speaker-segmented dialogues
    Time-coded utterances
    Non-speech elements (pauses, laughter, etc.)
    High transcription accuracy, achieved through double QA pass, average WER < 5%

    These transcriptions are production-ready, enabling seamless integration into ASR model pipelines or conversational AI workflows.

    Metadata

    The dataset comes with granular metadata for both speakers and recordings:

    Speaker Metadata: Age, gender, accent, dialect, state/province, and participant ID.
    Recording Metadata: Topic, duration, audio format, device type, and sample rate.

    Such metadata helps developers fine-tune model training and supports use-case-specific filtering or demographic analysis.

    Usage and Applications

    This dataset is a versatile resource for multiple Spanish speech and language AI applications:

    ASR Development: Train accurate speech-to-text systems for Mexican Spanish.
    Voice Assistants: Build smart assistants capable of understanding natural Mexican conversations.

Description

The GlobalPhone corpus developed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was designed to provide read speech data for the development and evaluation of large continuous speech recognition systems in the most widespread languages of the world, and to provide a uniform, multilingual speech and text database for language independent and language adaptive speech recognition as well as for language identification tasks. The entire GlobalPhone corpus enables the acquisition of acoustic-phonetic knowledge of the following 22 spoken languages: Arabic (ELRA-S0192), Bulgarian (ELRA-S0319), Chinese-Mandarin (ELRA-S0193), Chinese-Shanghai (ELRA-S0194), Croatian (ELRA-S0195), Czech (ELRA-S0196), French (ELRA-S0197), German (ELRA-S0198), Hausa (ELRA-S0347), Japanese (ELRA-S0199), Korean (ELRA-S0200), Polish (ELRA-S0320), Portuguese (Brazilian) (ELRA-S0201), Russian (ELRA-S0202), Spanish (Latin America) (ELRA-S0203), Swahili (ELRA-S0375), Swedish (ELRA-S0204), Tamil (ELRA-S0205), Thai (ELRA-S0321), Turkish (ELRA-S0206), Ukrainian (ELRA-S0377), and Vietnamese (ELRA-S0322).In each language about 100 sentences were read from each of the 100 speakers. The read texts were selected from national newspapers available via Internet to provide a large vocabulary. The read articles cover national and international political news as well as economic news. The speech is available in 16bit, 16kHz mono quality, recorded with a close-speaking microphone (Sennheiser 440-6). The transcriptions are internally validated and supplemented by special markers for spontaneous effects like stuttering, false starts, and non-verbal effects like laughing and hesitations. Speaker information like age, gender, occupation, etc. as well as information about the recording setup complement the database. The entire GlobalPhone corpus contains over 450 hours of speech spoken by more than 2100 native adult speakers.Data is shortened by means of the shorten program written by Tony Robinson. Alternatively, the data could be delivered unshorten.Hausa is a member of the Chadic language family, and belongs together with the Semitic and Cushitic languages to the Afroasiatic language family. With over 25 million speakers, it is widely spoken in West Africa. The collection of the Hausa speech and text corpus followed the GlobalPhone collection standards. First, a large text corpus was built by crawling websites that cover main Hausa newspaper sources. Hausa’s modern official orthography is a Latin-based alphabet called Boko, which was imposed in the 1930s by the British colonial administration. It consists of 22 characters of the English alphabet plus five special characters. The collection is based on five main newspapers written in Boko. After cleaning and normalization, these texts were used to build language models and to select prompts for the speech data recordings. Native speakers of Hausa were asked to read prompted sentences of newspaper articles. The entire collection...
